The drama and debate about Tim Tebow’s current decision to
opt out of the Patriots organization probably will be a very bad move
pertaining to his learning curve as an NFL QB. Tebow has without the shadow of
a doubt has squandered away an opportunity to play with one of the best teams
in the NFL, and he may have ruined his chance of ever becoming a first string
QB in the ranks of the NFL.
Tim Tebow may not fully become conscious that he lacks the
skill to be converted into a starting quarterback in the NFL, until teams no
longer accept his offers at the QB position. Tim Tebow does not have the skill
set to be an NFL QB, and he will never be a starting QB in the NFL for a
prolonged period of time. My top 10 reasons why Tim Tebow is not an NFL QB is
based on his prior performances, and a 10 step analysis on why he should
reconsider playing football in the NFL.
#1 Tim Tebow under
pressure; bad decisions lead to bad throws, and this is where Tebow has not
improved or impressed other NFL teams to give him the opportunity to play
quarterback in the NFL.
#2 Given the
opportunity Tebow has not proven to be a reliable QB under pressure that is
why Coach Belichick decided not to invest time in trying to improve on
something that is not there. This may be one of the harshest realities for
Tebow to consider.
#3 Time is running
out for Tebow. Even though Tim Tebow is twenty five years old, his
biological clock to play in the NFL is winding down.
#4 Tebow is not the
only NFL player who has been slighted to play another position besides what
they were groomed for. Tebow should have felt privileged that the Patriots organization
chose him to play for a team that had so much to offer. Tebow blown opportunity
may have cost him one of the best opportunities of his life; simply put,
learning from Tom Brady, one of the greatest QB’s to play the game today.
#5 What Tebow should
have learned from other QB’s who have had little to no success in the NFL. Tim
Tebow will not be the last quarterback who had an opportunity to switch
positions for the better good of their NFL career.
#6 Quarterback
efficiency means success in the NFL. Can Tim Tebow look himself in the
mirror and honestly feel that he can be a successful QB in the NFL?
#7 Size does matter
in the NFL, and despite Tebow’s dream to play quarterback, his size suggest
he would be a better fit at the running back or tail back position.
#8 NFL coaches know
best, and after reviewing Tebow’s quarterback skills, only a team in
desperation will let Tebow play at the QB position in 2013, even that option would
be no guarantee for an extended period of time.
#9 Durability in the
NFL equals success. Tebow’s unpredictable style of play invites the fate of
injury - that places him on a short list as first string QB nominees. Tebow
should consider playing in the Arena Football League for a year or two at the
quarterback position. Change may be just what Tebow needs to reevaluate his
quarterback skills, and if his faith in God is as he says it is, then just
maybe he will accept what God has in store for his NFL future.
#10 What does the
future hold for Tim Tebow? There may come a time this season when Tim Tebow
has the opportunity to play at the quarterback position, but the reality
remains, Tebow will never be an NFL QB.
